After that, check it! It may be good then, but if not, just toss, spray, and repeat for another 3-5 minutes. Then, toss it, spray it again, and cook for another 5 minutes. It’s going to vary just a little bit based on how crunchy you want it and how much okra you have in there, but my general rule for air fryer okra is to spray it down with spray oil and then cook it for 5 minutes on 400. With an air fryer, those problems are totally eliminated. Sure, there are baked version of our favorite foods out there, but let’s be honest: you don’t get the same crunch and sometimes you just don’t want the hassle (or the warmth!) of heating up that whole oven for a side dish.

Air Fryer Home Fries is another perfect side, but they’re also a rustic breakfast classic. Lots of fish fries would include shrimp, and yep, we’ve got Air Fryer Breaded Shrimp for you too! All you need is a bowl of cocktail sauce and you’ve got it made in the shade! Air Fryer Asparagus Parmesan is a super quick and easy side that can be dressed up for a fancy dinner. And Air Fryer Lobster tails are hands-down the best way to cook these special treats (but easy enough for a weeknight). We also love to make Air Fryer Catfish Fillets, which make you think of an old school fish fry – but without the grease. I’m so glad you asked! By now I’m sure you know that air fryers are the easy little appliance that magically fries food with little or no oil, which means much less calories when you’re craving something that is typically greasy like fried okra.

Air fryer okra? Air fried okra? Whatever you want to call it, this is fried okra cooked in an air fryer and if you’re a Southerner (or a wannabe) who loves this crunchy goodness, you’re going to freak out over the guilt-free version.
